How do I get my equipment back after arresting Pious?

[Vincentius]

The Rattay Bailiff told me they would bring my stuff back but it doesn't give me a quest telling me where to receive it.

hmm.. i don't rightly recall for them bringing it back for you, but for some circumstances (based on how you finished the quest), the gear can sometimes be found in the chamber near the monastery gate where Henry first changed his monkly attire. hope it helps

It's usually in there but i think it is considered stealing if you take it.

I put all my equip into a chest before entering the monastery, and it may have been the location mentioned above by the monastery gate\entrance. It was all there when I completed the quest, both times, and do not remember a problem of it being stolen, but scripts are scripts and can bug for any playthru.

Leave you gear in you home chest. Then go to start the monestory quest. Then you have no gear to hand over to them

Ah, man, that quest is absolutely phenomenal from an RPG perspective. But get that some players just don't get it... Maybe in another play through you'll understand how immersive the experience of the monastery is.

I say this because I spent 2 years (on and off) in a Franciscan Mission, and playing KCD and this quest years later brought those memories all back to the surface. It is masterful what they accomplished in a game.

The monastery quest portrays a world within a world, a controlling, suffocating environment where some go to hide, some bully the weak, and others exercise their deepest depravities in seclusion.

not saying it's not well done, but I am not a religious person and that is essentially a prison of prayer ...

Then you do 'get it', and the game has had the intended effect. I'm sure you noticed, the entire game is mostly irreverent to organized religion.

Hope you didn't misunderstand my post, I do not follow an organized religion either. The memories brought back of my time in Franciscan mission (while a grad student) were much like the monastery quest, not all enjoyable or good ones, though TBH there were some of those as well.

Time in a Franciscan Monastery is something that has long appealed to me - the discipline, the structure, the peace and quite and time to essentially meditate, reflect and introspect.

It's something I'd love to do but unfortunately I've looked into it and one of the prerequisites is affirming one's faith to God which would prove difficult to me seeing as how I'm a lifelong atheist.
